Royan is a small town and commune of the Charente-Maritime département, in Western France.
Royan is on the Atlantic coast, near the mouth of the Gironde Estuary. Three islands are nearby: Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron and Île-d'Aix.
The town was rebuilt in the 1950s, as part of an urbanisation programme and is very representative of the modernist architecture of the time.
A bourgeois town, known also for its casinos and hotels, Royan is a very sunny city all-year-round.
